What to Do

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter and chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition.

With a serrated knife, carefully slice frozen cake into 7 horizontal slices.
